Meituan’s KeeTa Partners with 7-Eleven to Expand Convenience Store Deliveries in Hong Kong
Meituan’s food delivery subsidiary, KeeTa, is actively expanding its merchant network in Hong Kong by partnering with major convenience store chains, starting with 7-Eleven. According to reports from Chinese media outlet Jiemian, this strategic move aims to diversify the platform’s offerings beyond traditional restaurant meals to include non-food items, a category already served by competitors like Foodpanda and Deliveroo. Since joining the platform on July 19, 7-Eleven customers can order hot food, snacks, and beverages for delivery. This expansion effort underscores KeeTa’s rapid growth trajectory; it became Hong Kong’s second-largest food delivery service by order volume just months after its debut last November. While strengthening its local market position through category expansion, KeeTa is also managing international operational shifts. The company has reportedly relocated some frontline staff from Hong Kong to support its upcoming launch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This dual focus highlights Meituan’s broader strategy to consolidate its presence in established Asian markets while simultaneously pursuing new opportunities in the Middle East, leveraging its operational expertise to compete in diverse geographic regions.
